Patch 8.1 PTR Build 27934 database updates continue with all the new NPCs added to the PTR site! We will be highlighting notable ones in this post, such as NPCs for Zekhan, Xal'atath, and Ranger General Sylvanas.\r\rYou can browse all 2000+ new NPCs in the PTR database. Find something interesting we didn't mention? Let us know.\r\rThis post contains spoilers as we will link the NPCs to their datamined stories.\r\r\rCheck out our full Patch 8.1 Build 27934 Coverage\r\r\r Dwarf Heritage Armor\r New Paladin Animations\r Broadcast Text for Siege of Zuldazar\r Sira Moonwarden Broadcast Text\rMekkatorque vs Gallywix Broadcast Text\r Varok Saurfang Broadcast Text\r Tyrande, Night Warrior, and Nathanos Broadcast Text\r Proudmoore's Broadcast Text - Jaina, Katherine, Derek, and Tandred\r Xal'atath Broadcast Text\r Dwarf Heritage Armor Questline\r Blood Elf Heritage Armor Questline\r Dark Ranger Armor\rNew NPCs - Zekhan, Xa'atath, Ranger General Sylvanas\r Class Changes\r Preamble, New Icons, Update to Night Warrior Scenario.\r\r\r\rZekhan, aka Zappy Boi, aids Saurfang in Patch 8.1 by fighting off the Horde sent to capture or kill him.\r\rZappy Boi was first seen in the Saurfang "Old Soldier" cinematic, reminding Saurfang of the bonds of Honor which bind the Horde. Everyone thought Zappy Boi was a one-off character, but he plays a large role in Patch 8.1! This is likely a placeholder model but having his own NPC in the database is a start!\r\r\r\rYou will throw down your weapon at once and come with us.\rOr you will die here, in the swamp, alone.\rNot alone!\t\rIf it be da loa's will dat fall here, den it's gonna be together. As da Horde!\t\rI see you still have not learned to fear impossible odds, my young friend. It is an honor to stand at your side.\t\r\rRead the full Saurfang story here\r\rXal'atath is back to causing mischief! We help strengthen her enough so she escapes from her dagger! Nothing bad will happen. We've also datamined the first quest for her story - Qualquer mortezinha ajuda.\r\r\r\r\rHow glorious it is to be renewed. I haven't forgotten your callous use of me in Silithus.\rI am... glad -- we could spend time together again. You always were my favorite.\r\rRead the full Xal'atath story here\r\rSeveral NPCs with interesting models come from the Blood Elf Heritage Armor Questline. We see Sylvana Correventos with her Ranger General model, the beloved Anasterian Andassol, and Alta-sacerdotisa Liadrin as a Priest not a Paladin.\r\r\r\r\r\rSylvanas Windrunner was our kingdom's protector. Had she and her rangers not met Arthas with such fierce resistance, our people might no longer exist.\rShe paid the ultimate price so that enough of us might escape to rebuild our fallen kingdom.\rWhen Arthas raised her as a banshee and turned her against Quel'Thalas, it broke all our hearts.\rI've had my share of disagreements with Sylvanas... But I will never forget her sacrifice. She was the Ranger-General of Silvermoon. Nothing will ever change that.\r\rRead the full Blood Elf Heritage Armor story here\r\rThere are also some notable NPCs related to the Night Elf story in Darkshore. Much has been made of Tyrande's new model with dark eyes and practical armor, but her mount Ash'alah has also received a visual upgrade. Tyrande appears to be flanked by many NPCs with the "Army of the Black Moon" title as well, such as Alyris Iralunar.\r\r\r\rI served you for millennia. But tonight, I do not come as a maiden, mother, or even priestess.\rNow, I will serve you only if you grant me justice!\rWith ancient words, I invoke your most ruthless phase.\rWith this offering, I demand to wear your darkest face.\rRead the full Tyrande story here\r\rOn a sadder note, Sylvanas appears to be raising the fallen Night Elves as Dark Rangers (Patrulheiro Sombrio Kaldorei) led by the reanimated Delaryn Lunestio. It looks like Sylvanas now has Delaryn as the Dark Ranger and Sira Moonwarden as the Dark Warden. Delaryn has suffered an especially cruel fate as she led the heroic defense of Darkshore in the pre-patch novella Elegy, with a character arc similar to youthful Sylvanas defending Quel'Thalas.\r\r\r\rHow would you like to end up like your friend Sira here? Or perhaps Delaryn just over there?\r<Sira stands resolute, eyeing her former commander.>\rWe are ready to begin, Darkwarden.\rDeath comes for us all you old crone. The dark lady merely released me from a fate of decrepit ineptitude.\rWhat great tragedy has befallen my Wardens that my own sister has become my enemy.\rYou are an abomination! I will rid my homeland of you and your filth!\r\rRead the full Sira Moonwarden story here

I know that Zekhan will get a model update by the time the patch goes live, but I hope that Zekhans will get a new type of facemask, instead of the Vanilla mask that looks no where near as cool as the Cinematic version.
